Promoting youth leadership

We are a youth-centric organisation and involve young people in the development of all aspects of our work to ensure we are delivering services that suit their needs.

Fight for Peace Youth Councils are democratically elected groups of young people who act as representatives for the organisation and its members. Youth Councils act as intermediaries between young people and staff to ensure that the opinions of all participants are heard. They also participate in key institutional decisions such as the recruitment and selection process of new staff.
